Homemade sugar cookies. Rolled, cut in fun shapes, baked, and dipped in chocolate. Yes, I’ve created my own slice of heaven.

Ingredients:

• 3 c. flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 c. sugar
• 1 c. butter (softened, at room temperature)
• 1 egg (beaten well)
• 1 tbsp. vanilla
• 3 tbsp. milk
• 2 bars of Hershey’s milk chocolate

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a standing mixer combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
3. Add in the butter, egg, vanilla, and milk.
4. Roll the dough out onto a well-floured countertop to about 1/4-1/3 inch thick. Cut into any shape you desire. I happened to use hearts. 
5. Cut the cookie shapes out and place onto a parchment lined cookie sheet (for easy clean up). Bake for about 10-12 minutes.
6. Let the cookies cool.
7. In the meantime, set up a double boiler to melt the chocolate. Don’t know how? Check out this recipe that explains the double boiling method
8. Take your cooled cookies and gently dip them into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to make sure the edges are even.
9. Place back onto the parchment paper and let them cool. I prefer to let them sit over night–the chocolate will harden again and voila! Instant dipped cookies.
